I am so so so so so very excited for today's post… because it's a GIVEAWAY!

Who doesn't love free stuff!? And this, my friends, is totally FREE to YOU if you enter! Easy peasy, right?

So if you didn't know, I started writing my first-ever cookbook, Out of the Box Desserts, back in January… and I finished it in March. Don't even ask me what happened from mid-January to mid-March because I haven't the faintest idea. A meteor could have taken out half of Antarctica and I wouldn't have found out about it until April; I was so engulfed in sugar, flour and butter.

But now my sweet sugary baby is HERE and I couldn't be more excited, proud, humbled…and did I say 'excited'? Because I am 🙂

So before I bore you to tears with my sapfest about my book, let me just give you some quick pointers, mkay?

The book has a color picture for every recipe. It was imperative to me that every recipe had a photo!

There are 100 recipes in this book, one to suit nearly every particular taste, season, holiday, etc.

The book consists mostly of recipes that doctor up mixes (such as cake mix, brownie mix, cookie mix, etc), but there are some completely homemade recipes in there, too!

Most of the recipes have helpful hints and tips corresponding to the recipe at hand, like how to use leftovers of a certain ingredient, or how to switch up the flavor for next time.

And the book will be released officially next Tuesday, August 2, 2016!!

A set of measuring spoons, a cookie dough scoop (for perfectly portioned cake batter/cookie dough, but you can also use it to make meatballs!), a sifting wand (a necessary luxury you didn't know you needed), and the CUTEST cake server EVER.

A silicone baking mat (essential for amazing cookies!), a trio of rubber spatulas (easily my most used kitchen tool!), a whisk, and liquid measuring cups that stack to save space!

AND – since I'm a brand ambassador for Krusteaz, they are also providing a wonderful sampler pack of mixes for you to try! There's Belgian Waffle mix, cookie mixes, and muffin mixes to choose from!

PHEW. That's a lot of stuff!

And it's valued at over $250!
